Bradley Beal returns from the Wizards locker room to the bench and seemingly staying loose during late third quarter timeout, but I doubt there is any reason for him to return. – 8:39 PM

Bradley Beal was subbed out with 2:22 remaining in the first quarter — his regular substitution pattern — and hasn’t returned to the game, which deviates from the Wizards’ regular substitution pattern. Beal is currently in the Wizards’ locker room. – 8:00 PM

Bradley Beal has not checked back into the game after his 10 minutes in the first quarter as we near halftime.
Don’t see him on the bench. He took a charge earlier in the game. – 7:58 PM

Bradley Beal is a fearless man still taking charges, but certainly an example of setting the defensive expectation for the rest of the team. – 7:18 PM

NBA League Pass Game of the Day: Pistons at Wizards
Two teams that have been stuck in mediocrity for awhile, but have enough offensively potent talent to make for an entertaining matchup. Watch for Beal, Cunningham, Ivey, Porzingis, and Bey. pic.twitter.com/REeB8KYNTQ – 5:51 PM

More on this storyline
Chase Hughes: Bradley Beal has been in the locker room since late in the first quarter. Didn’t look like he was limping or anything on his way off the floor. But he hasn’t returned. -via Twitter @ChaseHughesNBCS / October 25, 2022
Neil Dalal: Billy Donovan on Bradley Beal (his college star) on Friday – “Very, very loyal guy.” – “He’s a great work, he’s incredibly smart, he’s a really good teammate.” – Told Wizards pre-draft: “He’ll be a great leader.” – “He can score at every single level. He’s incredibly unselfish.” -via Twitter @NeilDalal96 / October 25, 2022
Next is Beal, 29, a three-time All-Star who twice has averaged 30-plus points in the NBA and also twice has lost out on playing for Team USA. In addition to his COVID-19 bout that knocked Beal out of Tokyo, he missed the previous World Cup because of the birth of his son. “I definitely see myself playing for USA,” Beal told The Athletic. “That’s always been a goal of mine, obviously to play in the Olympics, but there’s a step to get there (the World Cup). So if it’s available to me, for sure.” -via The Athletic / October 25, 2022
